Some of the smaller countries in the General Assembly were concerned by the Soviet’s interpretation of U.N. procedures. Truman also was aware of the problem the Soviets were causing, so he sent Harry Hopkins to Moscow to negotiate with Stalin. Hopkins had met with Stalin on many issues over the years. After much deliberation, the two men arrived at a compromise that would grant nations on the Security Council less extensive veto power.

The Soviet Union was opposed to Argentina’s membership. Argentina had been a strong supporter of the Axis Powers during World War II. Latin American countries wanted Argentina to be a member of the United Nations. They vowed to block Poland’s and the UBSSR’s admission if Argentina were not admitted.

He demanded that all sixteen of the Soviet republics have seats in the United Nations. But this would enable him to have more voting power, so the U.S. countered proposing that all forty-eight states in America at that time would also get seats. This led to Stalin’s withdrawal on the demand.

When France was added, it was decided these five nations would comprise the United Nation’s Security Council.

The Allied Powers wanted to create an organization similar to the League of Nations, but they wanted to avoid the mistakes made by the League of Nations. One of the reasons the League of Nations failed was that it did not include some of the world’s major powers such as the United States and Russia.
